Sinigang na Ulo ng Salmon (Salmon Head in Tamarind Soup)

Sinigang na Ulo ng Salmon (Salmon Head in Tamarind Soup)

Hello October! I was going to say ‘hi’ to you yesterday with this tasty and healthy Salmon Head Sinigang but for some reason we didn’t have an internet connection — no connection from 9am onwards!

So I’m officially saying ‘hello’ to you today.

I believe you already know how much I love Sinigang cause it says so on my ‘meet me‘ profile up there. If you’re gonna ask why, well, for me it’s the most comforting dish. It has this sour soup which, when you slurp when hot, fills you up with warmth. Not the kind that a hug or a sweater can give you, the kind that reaches your heart and soul. The kind of warmth that you feel when it’s stormy and cold outside yet you feel safe and secure at home with loved ones.

Sinigang is one of the most common household dishes and a favorite of my daughter as well. We usually cook pork, beef and fish using tamarind soup mix, tamarind, guava, or kamias as souring agent.

Sinigang na Ulo ng Salmon (Salmon Head in Tamarind Soup)

For Fish Sinigang, we either use Milkfish and Maya-Maya Head.  It’s our first time to make Salmon Head Sinigang at home. It was being sold at the market for ₱120 (around $2.80) per kilo which is really a cheap price for salmon, if you ask me.

Fish heads are frequently used in Asian dishes because it’s cheaper and more tasty. It packs a whole lot of flavor specially when cooked in sauce, with gravy, or  into soup.

If you’re not used to eating fish heads, it might freak you out but Salmon Head Sinigang is one of the must-try Filipino dishes!

    This is one dish that I have not tried; yet I do love fish soup; so I think I would like this soup too.
    You have given this a beautiful description and it sounds wonderful. It would not freak me out at all. Blessings, Catherine

    What a great recipe! It’s so different from what I usually see and something new to me. I love Asian food, so I have no doubt I’d enjoy this soup.

    I really don’t know how to eat the fish head but my mom is great at it. I just know that it’s where most of the flavor comes from and is best for cooking soups such as this.

    Ito ang isa sa mga bagay na namiss ko sa pinas. Naimagine ko tuly ang lutong bahay ng nanay ko at ang mainit na sabaw ng tinolang isada at manok. Now, if you’ll excuse me I got to hit the kitchen right now.

    As usual, natakam na naman ako sa post mo. I don’t eat pork nowadays and this post made me crave for salmon head. Sana lang I can get this fresh from the supermarket. Wala nito sa palengke namin.

    I miss you, mare! Hope to bump into you pretty soon!

    Now’s the best time to relearn how to cook sinigang, especially this one because it’s Nanay’s favorite (and she gets tired when cooking, even if she’s sitting). Thank you for sharing your recipe! 🙂

    My sister used to make this too but sometimes Salmon fish is expensive. I agree that it tastes really delicious and its healthier compared to beef and pork. Great recipe! 🙂

    My husband doesn’t share my taste for large fish heads, haha, and I tell him he’s missing so much! One of my favorite sinigang variation is one used with another’s big fish’s head (name’s on tip of my tongue but it just won’t push out!) I eat the whole thing, eyes and all.
